Santa's Porthole // last call ??

redbenjoe - 2008-12-25 20:27

for months -- wifey was asking me to put a real functional porthole window in our front door !! Laugh Out Loud

well, many of us , like me, can become very adept at the stall mode when we dont like an idea Smile

i thought it would be horrendous looking.

anyhow -- you know how they can get Big Grin

so - finally - for last nights gift -- i got a heavy duty glass/brass/bronze real marine porthole kit--and popped that little sucker in.

from the inside/out view -- she was 100% right-
it looks awesome-

but from the outside/in view.............
it gives the local robbers a clear preview of their 'personal favs' Smile

LOL....nice

vladi123456 - 2008-12-26 09:54

redbenjoe - 2008-12-26 13:42

Smile-thats correct floyd --and amazing you could know that.

redbenjoe - 2008-12-26 13:43

hey ramon --what fits perfectly over the glass is a hitachi woofer Smile

jvc.floyd - 2008-12-26 13:45

yep its the very distinct chrome mic cover and those beautiful one of a kind tweeter grills that gave it away.

skippy1969 - 2008-12-26 14:21

Very cool !!!! Big Grin

johnnygto - 2008-12-26 14:59

Hang a picture of a pitbull's face on the inside when you're away Wink

I would let her have her way too, my wife makes me keep my bbx's in the dungeon (basement).

At least you have a nice stand in the living room Smile That would be cool!

redbenjoe - 2008-12-26 15:08

well --neither are a big deal --soundwise-

definitely ok , though Smile

johnnygto - 2008-12-26 18:35

There was a bolt box on ebay a couple weeks ago, is it that one? The bidding was getting to high for me, would of liked to had it tho Big Grin

Johnny

redbenjoe - 2008-12-26 18:51

nope --this one did come from ebay -- but, a few years ago --
there are at least a few other AKAs of these bolt boxes --and some variations.

- 2008-12-26 19:13

I love the look of the bolt box Big Grin

Hey, Ira, I dig the new porthole you have! I'm sure it adds quite the nautical feel to the house.

Good thing you didn't install a cornhole. Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2008-12-26 20:11

cornhole going in the back door

Do you need TP for your bunghole?!?!? Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud

jt - 2008-12-27 07:11

Great shots, Ira! Very cool!

Lets just hope your ship never sinks in a storm!!!!

ford93 - 2008-12-27 07:53

Well at least you have better view of the person knocking at your door! Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-12-27 09:56

ford -- yup -its about the diameter of a round robbers face Smile

JT --think i need a tripod for night shots -- right ??

redbenjoe - 2008-12-27 17:24

ok -- problem0 !!

here is the opposite view = inside out ,
and have discovered the fubar part --

using wide angle --we can get the full porthole effect - but the chicks are too tiny Big Grin





but when we zoom in -- we lose the entire porthole --so what possible good is this : Smile

billpc55 - 2008-12-27 17:28

i had been concerned to open and view this thread as i had misread it instead as satans porthole.
i can see tho ira you have only been using santas porthole for the betterment of mankind.
it is a pretty cool porthole.

redbenjoe - 2008-12-27 17:38

do you guys think i will/can be arrested for this porthole/peephole photography ?? Smile

do they have s2g access in prisons ??

its worth 30 days -- but no more than that Laugh Out Loud

billpc55 - 2008-12-27 18:44

dont got to prison ira you would not to be released with parts of your anatomy resembling that porthole would you. Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2008-12-27 19:06

well bill --these kids wont run me in Smile

they ALL know me and my teenage son --and now that the 'words out' about our new porthole --

they will EXPECT me to be hiding by it with the camera -- and will be insulted if they dont get in a cool picture !! really Smile

so - the bigger problem is all their fathers know me too Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2008-12-27 20:08

does any member here really KNOW optics and lenses ?

to make the porthole shots worthwhile --it needs a constant wide angle lens with a built in a variable zoom --

and that might not exist ??

redbenjoe - 2008-12-28 15:49

wifey is now less thrilled with 'her' porthole gift Big Grin
claims hubby is not using it correctly Laugh Out Loud





----------------------

but --the zoom lens eliminates the porthole-
so who needs it, anyway ?? Smile

- 2008-12-28 16:01

Eek

AMAZING...i don't care about the bbx pics anymore i want to see more of what's out there in the WILD Laugh Out Loud

Ira...with pics like the ones above expect a visit from me sooner than you think Laugh Out Loud
